The Italian Olympic Committee’s (CONI) anti-doping procura is to question 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giovanni Visconti, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Leonardo Bertagnolli and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michele Scarponi next wee♛k about their alleged implication in the Padova-based doping investigꦓation.

In a , CONI said that the three riders will appܫear in Rome on June 27 “to be heard in regard to press reports relating to the inquiry of the procura of Padova.” The Padova investigation is understood to be centred on the activities of Dr. Michele Ferrari, the notorious Italian sp🦹orts doctor.

In April 2011, Scarponi and his Lampre-ISD teammate Leonardo Bertagnolli had their hotel rooms searched by police during a training camp at Mount Etna, and Gazzetta dello Sport reported that investigators in Padova suspected the pair of being clients of Ferrari. Their Lampre team claimed that the only items fo♛und were the anti-inflammatory medicine Oki, powdered milk and Enervi𝄹t energy bars.

The following week, Gazzetta reported that police officers had searched Visconti’s hom💞e as part of the same investigation. The Italian champion Viscontiꦡ, then at Farnese Vini, 🙈now rides for Movistar.

Miche🥂le Ferrari was banned by the Italian Cycling Federation (FCI) over 10 years ago on the back of rider testimony relating to his activities and in February 2002, the body announced that it would hand down suspensions of up to six months to riders who were found to have consulted with him.

Visconti, Bertagnolli and Scarponi will be heard separately by CONI next Wednesday at 11 am, 12 pm and 1 pm respecti🐻vely.

Scarponi previously served a suspension for his implication in Operacion Puerto, after he confessed to working with Spanish blood doping doctor ꦰEufemiano Fue𒆙ntes.

CONI’s summons of Scarponi, Bertagnolli and Visconti follows its questioning of Filippo Pozzato (Farnese Vini-Selle Italia) in Rome on Tuesday. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:La Repubblica reported last weekend that investigators in Padova h﷽ad intercepted a phone call from 2009 in which Pozzato s𓆉poke of working with Ferrari.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday, Pozzato allegedly told the CONI hearing that he had consulted with Ferrari from 2005 to 2009, but insisted that he had only received training advice🦋 from him.

Last week, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced that it had charged Ferrari, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruynee๊l with doping, and it is beꦓlie༺ved that some of the evidence used to build their case was provided by investigators in Padova.

The Padova investigation, led by Benedetto Roberti, first came to public prominence in the summer of 2010, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alessandꦅro Petacchi was called befo✃re CONI to discuss his implication in the inquiry.
